A good move to give back RM100 per year to senior citizen, but I would say that this is not the best way.

The state government come out the way for giving RM100/year back to senior citizen as an appreciation of the senior contribute to Penang state. Other political parties may claim this is a corruption, why they say so? I disagree with the corruption accuse.

Corruption should be something offer & acceptance. Do you mean those senior citizen who receive the money to be charge??? What a funny accuse. Up to today, do any person make a formal report to MACC? Please refer to Section 17, Anti-Corruption Act 1997.

My opinion, what is the impact for the RM100 per year to the senior citizen? Could this help the senior citizen to increase their purchasing power, do this make them more comfortable in their life, or this is just a way of gift and appreciation?

I just would like to know the cause and effect of this money the Penang government spend, if according to the news I read, that is 132,000 senior citizen in Penang that mean Penang government have to spend around RM13.2million per year ? As I mentioned, what benefits and effects bring toward the senior citizen? Others may think that, existing government give “sweet” to rakyat in return for votes. You may not agree!

Last time PR criticise a lot, that BN pre-elections will give “sweet”, I still remember YB Nga Kor Ming even sing a song to satire the BN, which I watched from youtube.

Let talk about the RM13.2million for senior citizen, I would dare to say that a number of the citizens really not need the RM100, as their saving and investment would be able to let them have a comfortable life, this maybe the cause why they do not sign up for this scheme.

I would suggest that, the state government come out grants, cost of living adjustment subsidy, social security, medical aid and etc to the citizen of Penang. And highly promote on that, clearly stated the criteria to apply and duration of approve. This may help those who really really need assist, this should include single mother/father, senior citizen, children, OKU and etc. If situation allow, together organise with JKM.

Make Penang is a state full of care & love. Help those who need without compare their race, religion, origin, political parties, gender….
